An additional 591 MW of new generation was created in six months of 2025 in the regions of Ukraine, most of which – 320.2 MW – was due to connected capacity through cogeneration, said Deputy Head of the Presidential Office Viktor Mykyta.
“Communities and regions are confidently pursuing energy decentralization… Innovative projects will make it impossible for the enemy to destroy the new decentralized energy system,” he wrote in a telegram on Sunday.
Mykyta clarified that the total amount also includes 84 MW of connected capacity from wind farms, 101.4 MW from solar power plants (SPPs) and 84 MW from SPPs installed in private households, and another 1.2 MW from mini-CHPs.
As reported, at the end of 2024, the Ministry of Energy reported that the total capacity of distributed gas-fired generation units connected in Ukraine last year amounted to 967 MW, of which 835 MW were commissioned in 2024.
According to Vladyslav Sokolovskyi, Chairman of the Board of the Solar Energy Association of Ukraine, in 2024, approximately 800-850 MW of solar power plants will be built in Ukraine at the expense of businesses and households, while wind farms added only 20.6 MW of new capacity last year, according to Andriy Konechenkov, Chairman of the Board of the Ukrainian Wind Energy Association.
